Maybe since the beginning of this year? I've been using these espresso machine every day Actually, I've recently replaced this, this, and this At first glance, they look quite similar But actually these are equipments I got recently So today, I'll introduce these to you For the electric kettle, I've always wanted One with temperature control and timer functions I happened to find this on Amazon, so I bought it This is from a brand called EPEIOS When you turn it on, the temperature is displayed here The top number shows the current water temperature And the bottom is the set temperature You can freely change the set temperature by turning this The lowest setting is 38 degrees
Surprisingly, there aren't many electric kettles that can be set to lukewarm temperatures Sometimes I want water around 40 degrees So this is really convenient You can set it up to 100 degrees in one-degree increments When drinking coffee, I usually set it to about this temperature If you press this button It has a mode that keeps the water at the set temperature Pressing this starts the timer I think it measures up to about 10 minutes Pressing the leftmost button allows you to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius The lid is like this, and the capacity is 900ml, I think?
It can hold up to 900ml of water at MAX This is my first time buying from EPEIOS, and since it was sold on Amazon, I was a bit worried But so far, it hasn't shown any concerning behavior It seems pretty reliable It appears to be well-made In the coffee community, many people Use temperature-controllable electric kettles from a brand called Fellow It feels like almost everyone uses only that Fellow seems good too I think either is fine This is the espresso machine I'm currently using This is from Flair Espresso No, no, no, Ryoya-san Some might think, "Haven't you been using this for years?" Please take a look at this is the Flair 58+ model The one on the table is the Flair 58 I had been using
And this is the Flair 58+ I've been using for the past few months They look almost identical, but there are some differences The shape and color of the portafilter handle are slightly different The Flair 58+ feels more solid and a bit larger The color is more walnut-like, while the other looks more oak-like Also, the Flair 58+ has a magnetic mirror that can be attached here You can check the espresso coming out of the portafilter while extracting Also, the way of adding hot water to the cylinder has changed quite a bit With the Flair 58 I used before, you'd lift the lever all the way up once Remove this Add hot water here, then put this back on Hook this, and then lower the lever
With this Flair 58+, you add hot water with everything set up When you lift the lever once, the water goes inside So once the water goes in, you just lower the lever to extract. That's how the method has changed Both of these have switches It's a system where you heat the cylinder before use I feel like the Flair58+ heats up much faster That's just my impression, but let's actually measure it This is the Flair 58 And this is the Flair 58+ Let's start in the middle Let's see which one reaches the set temperature first It's finished The Flair 58+ took 2 minutes and 55 seconds 4 minutes and 13 seconds As expected, the Flair 58+ is faster So, personally, I highly recommend this Flair 58+
I also got a new grinder This is what I had been using I wonder how many years I've been using it might be close to 10 years It's a MAZZER grinder I haven't been using it lately, so it's unplugged This is the Weber Workshops' The KEY MK2 that I'm using now Let me bring that over The power button is here It comes with a cleaning brush here Also, you can change the rotation speed of the burrs Basically, it's a very low rotation speed The rotation speed is so slow that It's incredibly quiet Even when grinding coffee beans, it's very quiet At maximum speed, it makes a bit of noise, but still Compared to my MAZZER grinder, it's much quieter This is the lid
When grinding beans, they tend to scatter, so you can cover it with this lid It's magnetic, so you can open it halfway or fully It can also be fixed at the top with magnets There's a Magic Tumbler attached with magnets at the bottom here The top and bottom parts It has this spring-like thing When you turn it on, it rotates While grinding the coffee beans, it also stirs the ground coffee So you don't need a WDT tool anymore And for adjusting the grind size The coarseness of the coffee beans This can be adjusted very finely too Apparently, each mark is 5 microns, so you can adjust it very precisely I usually turn this until there's no gap This ring rises to the top From this position with no gap The current mark is at 13
I turn it about one full rotation, or slightly more, which seems to be just right for now When I grind coffee beans with this Weber Workshops' The KEY and brew espresso It's really How should I say it becomes very syrupy The espresso comes out very syrupy and thick, and the taste seems a bit stronger too So once you use this, it's hard to go back to the other one That's why I've unplugged it now But this Mazzer grinder was once considered one of the world's best This is really good too But Weber Workshops' The KEY seems to be a step above Highly recommended I'm still using this milk steamer I wonder how many years I've been using this I think I've been using it for about 3 or 4 years It has a thermometer at the tip
It automatically stops at the temperature you set It's quite powerful, and I like using it There was a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo For this milk steamer called The Morning Dream Apparently, steam comes out just 7 seconds after turning it on It seems really good Actually, I'm one of the 1003 backers who purchased it The shipping was scheduled for June, so it's been about 3 months now It seems like it's about to be shipped soon I'm currently waiting for it Please send it soon So, the milk steamer will be updated soon I think it'll be good as everything will be black, giving a unified look Well, I'll make another video when it arrives And yes, this steam oven too
I bought this last year, I think, and I'm using it. It's really good too Also, I've added new frying pans from Vermicular And I've added more pots like this one Most recently, I got a new Japanese-made knife produced in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture This is also really good, very light, and cuts extremely well I've added things like this too Well, there are many things I'd like to introduce, but for now, let's make an espresso My latte art has improved, hasn't it? By the way, today I used this Marusan almond milk It has quite a few additives But the milk foam doesn't disappear, and it's easy to make latte art It also pairs well with coffee, so I've been using it a lot lately
I also like this latte glass and use it every day It comes in two types: glass and ceramic This is a milk pitcher from the same brand, KRUVE It has three spouts, allowing you to do latte art with your preferred thickness I only use the middle spout though This is also very easy to use, and I like it I also like and use daily the BIRD coffee brewer from Weber Workshops This is a brewer for hand drip coffee There's no end to this, so I'll stop here for today. Well then!
